Historia
Drake needed a new start, and the small farm on the outskirts of the kingdom seemed like the perfect chance. Just one problem: he doesn't know the first thing about farming. He's also not sure how to deal with the giant, magical rooster that lives on his farm. But it's a fresh start, and Drake intends to make the best of it. Daily chores, a slew of monsters, and a haunted garden are one thing, but when his past catches up to him, Drake will have to learn to juggle his new responsibilities, a budding social life, and a secret that could cost him everything.

Legally distinct Stardew Valley
Revisado: 11-16-24
This is a decent mindless cozy background noise book, but so many elements are clearly "inspired by" Stardew Valley it's almost painful at times.

A beautifully well written book, full of humor, drama, and a very interesting examination of the potential ethical and practical issues that come with sapient AI.

That's only the beginning of the oddities about this particular piece of realty. They decide to call in experts: their grandchildren, Lloyd and Llynn, who pitch in with a will to try to discover what and why. But it may be more of a challenge than they can handle.

Interesting idea, Lukewarm narration

- Realty Check
- De: Piers Anthony
- Narrado por: Steven Cooper
Good idea falls flat.
Revisado: 06-29-23
The idea behind this book is very interesting. That's about as far as it goes however. Piers couldn't seem to decide whether he wanted the extraordinary house at the center of the story to be whimsical or worryingly mysterious, so there are abrupt tone changes scattered throughout.
The biggest complaint by far however is the fact that seemingly half of this book is dedicated to sexualizing a 17 year old girl, and describing in detail the lustful thoughts she inspires in her grandfather and cousin. Truly a bizarre decision even considering Piers Anthony's spotty history with female characters.

Best fantasy series since Lord of the Rings.
Revisado: 03-15-20
This story is so well crafted and engrossing I plowed through it in no time at all.
Soar to untold heights of delight with the successes of Kvothe, and sink to terrible lows with the tragedy that befalls him.
I truly cannot recommend this book enough.

This is a tale of sorrow, a tale of survival, a tale of one man's search for meaning in his universe, and how that search, and the indomitable will that drove it, gave birth to a legend.

Historia
The epic and highly anticipated conclusion to the listener-favorite series that had countless Audible listeners (and employees) hooked from the very first Bob - featuring, as always, a flawless performance from the inimitable Ray Porter. Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct.

Satisfying end
Revisado: 12-18-19
This book continues to be a delightful sci-fi romp as much as the previous books in the series and offers a satisfying ending that wraps everything up without feeling like it leaves things hanging.

Historia
The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

I have gone through 3 paperback copies of this book I've read it so many times. I cannot overstate how much I enjoy it. This performance is fantastic as well, and really expresses the humor and cleverness that makes this book so wonderful.

Historia
Most children go through a dinosaur phase. Learning all the tongue-twisting names, picking favourites based on ferocity, armour, or sheer size. For many kids this love of ‘terrible lizards’ fizzles out at some point between starting and leaving primary school. All those fancy names slowly forgotten, no longer any need for a favourite. For all those child dino fanatics who didn’t grow up to become paleontologists, dinosaurs seem like something out of mythology. They are dragons, pictures in books, abstract, other, extinct.
